It can happen anywhere Herb.  It is just more likely to happen in places like California, Italy, Alaska, Iceland.   I think the most severe quake in recorded North American history was in New Madrid, Mo.  If I remember my geology courses well enough, it was said to have rung church bells in Boston.  But it did no damage because no one lived in the Mississippi River valley yet ... or rather no one of white European descent.

I had my hand in my dogs mouth one night trying to extricate something he should not have picked up.  And a minor earthquake struck here in Lancaster.  Only 4.5 ...  one 700th or so of the one you describe.  But every hair on that dogs back stood up.  And the last place I want my hand is in the mouth of a scared Dobermann.

I was in SF in Jan, 1980 and had applied to both Contra-Costa Transit and SF Muni Railway and WAS planning to move there. I never dreamed that a frame house could sway from side to side with such violence and remain standing and that streetcar tracks could become "fluid" and look like four snakes twisting down a street and then return to their normal position without being bent. Needless to say I returned to Pittsburgh.
